For any surgical procedure you must get prepared prior to theatre. Technically you have to use all necessary instruments and or consumables to achieve a good result and practically you must have all the support from the stuff. Thus it is necessary to organise a plan prior to operation. A “battle plan” that allows you to get prepared for any scenarios. In order to follow your plan you will need a very good examination and documentation of all the findings. Any prioritised information prior to the surgery could improve the efficiency. In example the number and the type of breaks, the location, the possible type of sponge you may use as well as an alternative option. The decision in advance to perform or to skip significant parts of the procedure such as drain or not drain may provide as well more safety and /or efficiency.
